Hey Addy

[Toby smiles nervously, scratching his neck]



Hey Tobs, what's up?

I...uh, I just called to apologize for yesterday. I was very drunk and I don't know what came over me...



Wait wait, what are you talking about? What happened?

You...you don't remember?

No? Tobs, you're scaring me. What happened?

*sent an attachment*
There's an article out on Enews.



Wait lemme read it.

[her camera turns off as she shifts to another tab and reads the article, gasping at what was written in it]

[soon the camera turns back on as Adelaide's nervous face is seen again]

...Is any of this true?

It is



Oh god, how do I not remember any of this?

We were all pretty drunk by the end of the night...so you probably blacked out



Shit, this is...

Yeah, I know.



Now what?

...I don't know.


It was just a drunken mistake, right?

[Toby remains silent]

Tobs?

I... I wish this came out in a better way but...I do like you, Addy. Like a lot. And I just...I know you don't date your costars and we're all such good friends, I didn't know if I should even be feeling this way about you.

[This time, Adelaide is silent, due to the shock]

Oh

Oh?

I don't know what to say

Yeah, me neither. Look, you know what? Forget we ever had this conversation. I don't want things to be awkward between us.



Um yeahh, no it won't be awkward. This is us.

[They both hesitate]

Right?

I hope so.

Ugh I hate this already. I'm sorry I just sprung this on you. I knew I shouldn't have listened to Torrance.



Torr knows?

Um yeahh

[Toby smiles guiltily]

I swear he figured it out himself.

[Adelaide lightly chuckles at this]

You know what? When are you free? Let's get lunch together. We should figure this out before things get awkward for us and for others at work too. What say?

[Toby smiles widely at this]

I like that idea. Saturday sound good?



How about dinner instead? I kinda already have plans for lunch with Jo, Pheebs and the others.

Sounds good to me. I'll pick you up at 7?



No, it's alright. I'll meet you there after I'm done with the shoot.

Oh, you have a shoot?

[Adelaide nods]

No worries, I'll pick you up from the set, if you want.



You sure?

Definitely.



Okay then, see you Saturday, Tobs. I'll text you the address later.

See you then. And Addy? Thank you so much for not hating me for this.



I'd never hate you, Tobs. Don't worry.

[she smiles reassuringly at him as he smiles back widely]

See you, I gotta go now. Rachie is waiting. Bye.

Bye, Addy.

*call ended*
